Jay Glazer looks like he can't tie his own shoes. Like he's always holding his breath and about to have a heart attack. Like if there was a heart attack cam watch that just followed him around 24/7 waiting for him to have a stroke, I'd probably check in some times. It's like he's wearing one of those inflatable sumo suits under his suit.

[The Rook]

Less than an hour before kickoff - not too soon for my fourth beer is it?

 

🤔

Wentz gonna burn that blitz!

Dudes not getting beat by Junior twice in a row.

[FLSkinz83]

OMG, please tell me the mug of Washington State isn't true...maybe it's a few people who got that done and it's not a team related thing.

Sad. I'm sure he knows it. Won't end well.

[Koolblue13]

That mug is awesome. I'd definitely buy a few.

 

I still want something with the wrong SB dates on it.

[HigSkin]

This is crazy but I supposed he'll get limited action...

A few reminders which nobody will remember:

 

1. QBs do throw incomplete passes.  Even the best ones.  So, let's try and keep the calling Wentz a bum after his first incompletion to a minimum.  

2. QBs do throw interceptions.  Even the best ones.  So, let's try and keep the calling Wentz a bum after his first interception to a minimum.

3. Week 1 is not always a great indicator of the season to come.  So, I suggest everybody "stay medium" regardless of the outcome of this game.  Win or lose, we won't really know anything until the first quarter of the season is complete.

4. Having said that, I think today is as much of a "must win" first game as you can get in the NFL.  Not just because of the win/loss, but because there has been SO much negativity around the team, from Dan to the Irsay Smear Machine on Wentz, the only way to beat back those stories (at least temporarily) is to win a few games.  If they lose this game, it's going to be "Dan this" and "Dan that" and "See, Irsay was right, Wentz is a bum" for the next week.  And God, I really don't want to have to suffer through that.

5. The rebrand is the least of the reasons why they need to win.  But it would be helpful to win the first game with the new brand.  But it's not really that important.

 

Having said all that, I'm sure we are 1 bad play from predictions of an 0-17 season, trying to get JDR and Turner, and probably Ron fired.  So, have at it, my friends.

First thing I've heard about this game was at 12:27 from any Network and it was Jimmie Johnson saying Irsay was right and Wentz won't help us.  

[NickyJ]

Wentz threw an incomplete pass on the sideline during warmups. Fire Wentz, Ron, JDR, Scott, and make Heinicke the head coach.

[TheShredder]

The last 9 months has come to this.

Any other UK watchers on Game Pass who don't have sound?

You honestly cannot overstate the ineptitude of this franchise. Absolutely ridiculous. 

[Jumbo]

Straight up, the last few years I've never been confident we can win any game against any opponent regardless of the circumstances.  

 

I buy most of the wentz consensus from our board Illuminati and think he's the biggest upgrade we've made to the team at large since Terry. But I am totally ready for a relative boom to a familiar bust, team wise.

 

Here's hoping to a good start at least which to me means a win---not just a few "positives" after a loss.

 

That said, as a sciency guy, I have never found hope to be as reliable as cynicism. So drink up, pilgrim!

Looks like he updated his tweet, he was told those were being sold outside the stadium, so it’s possible it was someone with no ties to the team selling those

Thanks TK for the starting players and team roster information.  I used to cut it out of the newspaper every week back in the day when I got the Washington Post.

Haha I used to do the same but then cross off opposition player names as they got injured and knocked out the game.
